The circulation of the airis created by Centrifugal force which is caused by the differences inthe di ameters of the various openings and the rota tion of the device.A more shrill note may be created wherein the recess 19 is formed, andwherein, a prqectmg 11p 20 outwardly extends from one of the side walls.The lip, acting as a gatherer of air when rotated and.

the cutting of theair and the releasing of the same through a restrictedoutiet 21, creates a shrill note. rotor may be made, as illustrated inFig. 7 wherein a circular frame-22 is formed with suitable bearingstherein for the spindle 1.

The frame may be-placed in any position and the frame rotated orpartially rotated while the rotor is in motion. The rotor may beweighted with relatively heavy side walls28 and .Z lto form a rotor thatwill run for a relatively'long period. The blow pipe'may either besecured to the frame 22 or used independently 'of the frame.

While the form of mechanism herein shown'and described, is admirablyadapted tofulfill the objects primarily stated,"it-is I to be understoodthatit. is not intended to confine the invention to the one form of em-'bodiment herein shown and described, as it is susceptible of embodimentin various forms all coming within the scope of the claims which follow.V
